Well, consider the behaviors of the boys that are savage. Notice that as the novel progresses, their behavior grows progressively more savage. Throwing rocks to miss and scaring a littlun turns into hurling a boulder to kill another boy. Clothing is shed in favor of nudity and war paint. Killing pigs to eat turns into killing and leaving a head just to satisfy "the beast." Fighting out of anger turns into beating another boy for no apparent reason. Arguing over the importance of hunting vs. rescue turns into hunting down another boy just because he disagrees.

Golding makes numerous references to the lack of adult supervision. "With no adult to let fly a heavy hand..." is one. You go find the others.
